Mikey

16-year-old little Mikey is now flying high at Rainbow Bridge. He was our most senior guest, a gentle longhaired Dachshund who was quiet and content to do his own thing, but also loved a snuggle under a blanket and a cuddle. We took him for walks in the buggy next to Millie Moo, and the pair became fast friends, enjoying the fresh air together. 

Gizmo

6-year-old little Gizmo is now flying high at Rainbow Bridge. Sadly, his IVDD progressed to a point where it was no longer fair to put him through further treatment, a decision many of us understand all too well. When he first came to the hotel, he was very anxious, but with patience and gentle care, he gradually became more comfortable during his stays. He was such a little cuddle monster! His mummy kindly donated all his amazing puzzle toys to the hotel so we can remember him every time we use them. 

Dennis

12 1/2-year-old Dennis is now flying high at Rainbow Bridge. Sadly, he suffered from some back problems and, in his later years, cancer. His loving pet parents rehomed him in 2016, and he enjoyed the best life imaginable, loved unconditionally. Dennis—or as we called him at the hotel, 'Old Man D'—was an amazing little man with his quirky noises, love of toys, and he was an amazing lap-seeking missile. He certainly enjoyed any treats and a cheeky roast dinner. Fly high, sweet Dennis (Old Man D).

Belle

2-year-old Belle is now flying high at Rainbow Bridge. Sadly, she suffered from IVDD and, in her later years, became blind, but it didn't diminish her zest for life. She shared a very special bond with her sister, Coco. They loved each other dearly. She certainly enjoyed her cuddles and quiet naps during her stays here. Fly high, sweet Belle.

Diablo

Now soaring free at Rainbow Bridge, Diablo leaves behind pawprints on our hearts. Though he bravely battled IVDD and overcame more than one episode of this cruel condition, it returned with heartbreaking force. Yet through it all, Diabs remained a joyful little soul—full of love, especially for his devoted brother Pablo, who will feel his absence deeply. He cherished his walks, his cuddles, and every tasty treat during his time with us. Fly high, sweet Diablo.

Noodle

Flying high, sweet Noodle — a beautiful, brave little soul who faced IVDD with such courage, loved snuggling in her carry case, chasing her ball, and soaking up every cuddle and treat, until a rare complication after her last IVDD surgery meant her family had to make the heartbreaking decision to let her go.

Lupa

Flying high now, sweet Lupa — a truly special little lady who bravely faced IVDD three times in her life. She was wrapped in so much love from her family. A super cuddle‑monster who adored a belly rub, she brought such joy to everyone who knew her.
